Recombinant murinized TIGIT antibody for in vivo use

Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ is a recombinant murinized anti-mouse (m)TIGIT monoclonal antibody (mAb) featuring the variable region of the previously described 10A7 clone [1] and a mouse (m)IgG2a constant region.

TIGIT (T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain) is a cell surface inhibitory immune checkpoint [1]. It is specifically expressed on immune cells including natural killer (NK) cells, activated and memory T cells, as well as regulatory T cells (Tregs) [2].

 

The 10A7 mAb has been used to block TIGIT signaling in Tregs and chronically stimulated CD8+ T cells [3, 4]. Using recombinant technology, the original 10A7 hamster IgG2a constant region has been replaced with a murine IgG2a format which mediates potent cytotoxic functions [5]. This murinization also allows for reduced immunogenicity of the administered mAb and risks of fatal hypersensitivity reactions [6-8].
Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a is provided in an InvivoFit™ grade, a high-quality standard specifically adapted to in vivo studies.

 

Key features of Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™:

  • Derives from the 10A7 clone, Hamster IgG2a
  • Features the mIgG2a isotype (constant region)
  • Filter-sterilized (0.2 µm), endotoxin level < 1 EU/mg
  • Suitable for parental delivery in mice (azide-free)
  • Low aggregation < 5%
  • Produced in animal-free facilities and defined media


Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by affinity chromatography with protein A, and its binding to mTIGIT is validated using flow cytometry.

Cell surface staining of murine TIGIT using Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ mAb.
~5x105 EL4 (parental) orEL4-mTIGIT cells were incubated with 2 µg of Anti‑mTIGIT‑mIgG2a InvivoFit™ mAb or an isotype control for 1h at 4°C. Cells were then washed and incubated with 0.25 µg of goat anti-mIgG2a coupled to PE for 1h at 4°C. Cell surface staining was analyzed by flow cytometry.

Details

TIGIT Background:

TIGIT (T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain) is a 27 KDa cell surface immunoreceptor described as an inhibitory immune checkpoint [1]. TIGIT is specifically expressed on immune cells including, Natural Killer (NK) cells, activated and memory T cells, as well as regulatory T cells (Tregs) [2]. TIGIT binds to CD155 (PVR) and CD112 (PVRL2, nectin-2) expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs), T cells, and a variety of non-hematopoietic cells, including tumor cells [1, 2]. Of note, TIGIT competes with CD226 (also known as DNAM-1) and CD96 (also known as Tactile) for the same ligands [1, 2]. TIGIT interaction with its ligand triggers the phosphorylation of its cytoplasmic ITIM motif, and subsequent inhibition of the NF-κB, P13K, and MAPK pathways. As a result, TIGIT inhibits NK and CD8+ T cell effector functions [1-3]. In Tregs, TIGIT ligation triggers the production of immunosuppressive molecules such as IL-10 [4]. TIGIT is a target for monoclonal antibodies in cancer treatments [2].
